1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular parameters characterizing blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), endothelial function and arterial stiffness predict cerebro-cardiovascular events (CCVE) in the general population. Considering the paucity of data in stroke patients, we assessed these parameters as potential predictors of recurrent CCVE at acute stroke stroke. Patients and methods: This is a secondary outcome analysis of a prospective observational longitudinal Sleep Deficiency & Stroke Outcome Study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02559739). The study consecutively recruited acute ischemic stroke patients. Cardiovascular parameters (blood pressure variability [BPV], heart rate variability [HRV], endothelial function, and arterial stiffness) were assessed within the first week post-stroke. Future CCVE were recorded over a 3-year follow-up. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the prognostic value of 48 cardiovascular parameters regarding CCVE risk. Results: Out of 447 recruited patients, 359 were included in this analysis. 20% of patients developed a future CCVE. A high variability of systolic BP ( Conclusion: High blood pressure variability, high nocturnal HRV and endothelial function contribute to the risk for future CCVE after stroke.
